--crazy thought about cerebral palsy treatment--

crazy thought--

      i saw an advertisement today about raising money for cerebral palsy, a noble cause, i had a wild thought about the disease, at that moment, i was thinking that the problem in a patient with cerebral palsy, could lie in the "hippo-campus", and that the two sides of the person's brain, are not communicating well...  

       so poorly in fact, that the body, shuts down, both, communications with one side of the body( the least dominant, or opposite, of the hand a person naturally writes with), and also, nutrient delivery, to that side of the body...i feel this would cause co-ordination issues for the person, and poor growth of limbs( on the affected side), from the body doing a complete shut-down, of that side of the body--

the heart of the matter--

    left handed people are considered "right brained", and the opposite is thought to be true, of those whom are right handed...but nutrients are still sent to the sides of the body that are not dominant, in healthy subjects--

    i suggest, a cerebral palsy patient has a full( complete shut-down of one side of their body), from a malfunctioning "hippo-campus", allowing  low communication to the other hemisphere of the brain, or not enough, causing the full shut-down of supplies( oxygen, and nutrients), to the limbs on the affected side of the body( as the brain has stopped seeing them as viable, or not there at all), causing dexterity to be low, on the the non-dominant side of the body--

an epiphany--

   if this crazy idea had any merit at all, a person with this condition, caught in the early stages, might respond to things that re-develop the "hippo-campus", like a "kaleidoscope", or other means( i hear Albert Einstein liked to look through something that caused the right, and left sides of the brain, to work together)...perhaps dexterity drills, to cause ambidextrous abilities, might be slightly curative...anyway, crazy idea...thought i would write it down--

   also, i believe having the person learn to write with their non-dominant hand, immediately after diagnosis, could be of use, to work the "hippo-campus", as well as wearing an eye-patch over the dominant eye, and kicking a soccer ball around( with only the non-dominant leg), to re-establish communication, and nutrient enrichment, to the affected side of the body...i hope this concept is of use, in some small way, to physicians who treat this ailment--

  a word of caution--

  deploying therapy that separates the left and right sides of the brain( hypnosis), when the subject is very young, and not fully developed physically( a child), could unintentionally induce this ailment( cerebral palsy), greatly harming the patient...(speak to your doctor about this conclusion's merit)--
